Does agent forwarding have any relevance to host-based authentication?

Hello,

Does agent forwarding have any relevance to host-based authentication?
If a root user wants to do agent forwarding, he can have his own agent
running (as root), and do an ssh-add (as root), and so forth. But does
that make sense? I am using OpenSSH-4.2
client and server in HP-UX.

Thanks,
Santhi.
